Neither does a file Chrome generates. Not even if reinstalled.

  Huh? Even if you do $ sudo apt-get -y purge chrome [or whatever its package name is]? And if necessary, find and delete everything that it created.

    apt doesn't know about any file the application might have ever created in your home directory.

      Actually, apt does a pretty good job at finding stuff. Sometimes it can't delete, but it warns you about that.

        Apt only knows about the files that are listed in the package.
        • mirimir 8y ago
          Sure, but then that means that honest packages should document all files that the software can be configured to created automatically. Or at least, all but user-specified ones.

  In Linux, I can find and nuke everything that Chrome (or any other app) generates.
